Termite is a visualization tool for inspecting the output of statistical topic models based on the techniques described in the following publication:
Termite: Visualization Techniques for Assessing Textual Topic Models Jason Chuang, Christopher D. Manning, Jeffrey Heer Computer Science Dept, Stanford University https://vis.stanford.edu/papers/termite
Starting in 2014, we have split the development into two components:
- Termite Data Server for processing the output of topic models and providing the content as a web service
- Termite Visualizations for visualizing topic model outputs in a web browser
Our goals are to:
- support multiple topic modeling tools
- reduce the cost of developing new visualizations through shared infrastructure
- provide a common interface so that multiple visualizations can interact with any number of topic modeling software, and with other visualizations
